Managing Remote Teams - Transformation Tour Guide Edition
It is the 1950s, Toyota decides to compete against the way bigger manufacturers in the West by chasing quality as the highest goal. 4 decades later, in 1998, Toyota could complete a vehicle in half the time it took GM or Ford. They did this by strictly following the principles of respect for people and constant improvement.
As an entrepreneur, you are interested in delivering high-quality products and working with an inspiring team.
But what does quality mean?
And what makes a team into a great team that delivers quality?
These are the questions I want to answer with this small book of 26 pages, by looking at the experience and philosophy of the Toyota Production System.
The lessons are not only key to understanding what makes a good product, but will also help to develop a team that is responsible for building and improving it.
You will find the theory, but also actionable steps that can help you apply the knowledge to your own business. That is why I call it the 'Transformation Tour Guide' because, after learning, it is important to apply.
This book explains on 26 pages the main methods to build a team that is able to deliver high quality products, as tought by the Toyota Production System. Additional to the theory, it contains a questionaire that can help you start your own transformation.
